PLEASE, DON'T LET ME DIE

Episode 1 Prime and Peter get married and move into their new house. Prime was glowing in excitement as she unlocked the door to her new home with Peter. she pictured quiet mornings,romantic dinners,and lazy weekends,just the two of them. But, as she stepped inside,she was greeted by a chorus of voices. The smell of spicy stew,and living room packed with Peter's entire family, grandparents,uncles,aunties,cousins,even babies crawling all over the living room. it suddenly felt less like a honeymoon and more like an episode of an Indian family drama. Prime blinked in surprise,her suitcase still in her hand. As Auntie Rose and Uncle Ben rushed over and pulled her into warm hug,"welcome home,our new wife" some one cheered. while Peter's little cousins amd siblings darted around their feets,giggling.
